Georgian Amethyst and Seed Pearl Brooch

A thoroughly charming early-nineteenth century Georgian brooch/pendant featuring a bright lavender-purple amethyst glowing from within a gold-backed setting and orbited by eight shimmering natural pearls. The amethyst and pearls are presented in a regally ornamented 18 karat yellow gold cartouche. A fanciful monogram is engraved on the reverse. 1 3/16 inches by 1 inch.

The Georgian period is named after the four successive English kings
George I, George II, George III and George IV and it spans most of the
18th and part of the 19th century.
